Church Is Essential

Liberty Hub – There have been no shortage of heated arguments as of late on the subject of our current pandemic lockdowns.

Some believe that we’re not quite ready for concerts and packed restaurants, while others want to know why grocery stores are essential but schools are not? These arguments have been spun six ways to Sunday via the infotainment industry and social media, and we as Americans have grown irritated and ugly with one another on account of this.

No segment of this debate was more heated than when we spoke of religion and religious services. The animosity grew so ill at one point that a church in Mississippi was razed by lockdown loyalists, complete with a condescending note at the scene of the crime calling the parishioners out for gathering during quarantine.

President Trump has taken action today that should clear up any confusion on the subject.

President Trump on Friday announced that new Centers for Disease Control guidance will classify houses of worship as “essential,” as he called on governors to allow them to open “right now” after being closed during the coronavirus lockdowns.
